Re: Useless but fun magic Items
Once you know the effect it becomes a ring of teleportation - you just teleport to a location twice as far away as your intended destination

Re: Useless but fun magic Items
I posted this in the "Fun minor loot thread" in the 3.5 section, but it could fit here.
A small mechanical mouse, thoroughly worthless, except as a curiosity, that gives off a faint magical aura (It gives 1 xp to an Artificer for crafting), that awakens at the touch of a hand.
Upon activation, this mouse does everything a regular mouse does, scurries across the floor, cleans itself, hibernates in winter and even squeaks! It does not eat or drink though. It never strays too far from the person that activated it. Though they have no direct control over the mouse, it will attempt to copy what the activator is doing, broadly speaking.
For example, if a rogue activated it and was moving silently, the mouse would follow suit and also move silently, if the rogue was sleeping, so would the mouse.
The mouse can be used as a familiar, if so desired.Open the lid and snatch a homebrewed treat from Cookie's Jar

Re: Useless but fun magic Items
But if the ring can actually tell you want to land at half way, or exactly where you want to land, it just puts you half way there, preventing deliberate overshoot cheese.
My item:
Stone of Flaring Light: Acts as a stone of Alarm, however instead of waking people with a high pitched sound and waking people up, it hits everyone in the area with a Flare spell (as per flare, caster level varies based on the stone). The spell has only a 50% chance of waking a sleeping person.
It will make sure the guy on watch notices people have entered, but you still need a guy on watch.

Re: Useless but fun magic Items
Of course.
New items: Belt of Weight Loss. Contains a levitate spell keyed to body fat and an alter self that makes you look like you have about half as much body fat as you really do. Both spells automatically activate when the belt is donned.
Scrub's Flour: When tossed into the air, one handful fills a 15' by 15' region. An exceptionally cheesy charactger entering a space occupied by the flour causes it and the cheese to annihilate each other violently, dealing 10d6 of damage to the cheesebearer and 50d6 damage to anyone within 100 ft (Reflex save to take half damage.) Such a detonation removes all flour from the square entered by the cheesy character.Prince Fraternal of Pudding, Snuzzlepal, Feezy Squeez Lover, MP, Member of The Most Noble And Ancient Order Of St. George, King of Gae Parabolae.

Re: Useless but fun magic Items
Sorry, but that's useful -- you could write a vitally important message in marble rye and send it hundreds of miles away to a receiving station, where the Royal Spymaster will read and act on it. "Quickly, buy me a loaf of pumpernickel and two scrolls of meld bread! These insane cultists must be stopped!"
To say nothing of the fact that it could keep a nigh-inaccessible watchtower supplied with foodstuffs year-round ... my god, the possibilities are endless!

Brain Bleach: When poured on you head, erases whatever thoughts and/or memories are on your mind at the moment. The only known way to permanently get things like this (http://ffn.nodwick.com/?p=81) or this (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showp...stcount=66)out of your head, but each thought erased costs 100 xp and if this drops you below the xp required for your current level you actually go down a level.
Orb of Finding. While holding this perfectly uniform blue sphere, concentrate on any object, person, or character, and the orb will rotate to face it.
Scroll of Dispel Clothes. Should be self-evident what this does.
Wand of Cold. Ranged touch attack, gives the target a cold.Prince Fraternal of Pudding, Snuzzlepal, Feezy Squeez Lover, MP, Member of The Most Noble And Ancient Order Of St. George, King of Gae Parabolae.

Re: Useless but fun magic Items
Hammer of Dwarven Thrower
When wielded by a dwarf, this hammer throws the dwarf 30 ft in a random direction.
Bag of Holding
Upon first opening the bag, a voice speaks in a language the user can understand. The user is told the bag contains important information the user needs to know. It then tells the use to hang on a second while it rummages through its memory. The bag speaks no more.
The Singing Frog
Often found buried in a deep hole or container, the user who finds this enchanting frog discovers it is intelligent. It has 20 ranks in Perform (sing) and sings such beautiful music. Unfortunately, only the owner gets to hear the performance when they are alone. No matter how hard the owner tries to get others to hear the frog, the frog always manages to finish its current song by the time another person is in hearing range (5 ft). It then behaves in all ways as a normal frog. When the owner and frog are alone again, the frog starts singing again. The only way to rid oneself of the frog is to bury it in a deep hole or container.

Re: Useless but fun magic Items
Ring of Achillean Teleportation.
This ring will teleport you 9/10ths of the distance to your target location. You then fall asleep, no save. If undisturbed you will sleep for as long as it would take a tortoise to walk the same distance.
Ring of Gygaxian Teleportation.
This ring will teleport you d% of the distance to your target location. You will then have a CR appropriate random encounter: roll initiative.
Crystal Ball of the Sponsor.
Make a DC 30 Will save. If successful this functions as a regular crystal ball, otherwise it shows an image of some merchant who will try to sell you some household products. It is always the same merchant.π = 4
Consider a 5' radius blast: this affects 4 squares which have a circumference of 40' — Actually it's worse than that.

Case of the litigator
Translates any document placed in the case into legal jargon; non reversable. Does not confer the ability to understand legal jargon.
Partisan cravat
This brightly colored tie is sympathetic and will change its hue to a colour calculated to cause the maximum amount of hostility in anyone who sees it.

Re: Useless but fun magic Items
Then they are not trying hard enough. How do they expect to get past that demonic internship stage if their blood drenched contracts are actually decipherable.

Re: Useless but fun magic Items
Legal jargon like any other specialized language does not have the objective to confuse people not versed in that language, it has the objective to make things clear (to insiders at least).
Also contracts between devils and unfortunate (or greedy depending on the standpoint) persons usually do not screw the other party over by making the contract difficult to understand but by provoking certain expectations in that party that aren't actually in the text.
At least D&D demons couldn't care less about contracts.
